Is this strong enough to lift a GoPro camera: Anyone know if this copter is strong enough to lift it?

That will be way too heavy, quad itself is less than 3 oz. I fly mine with a 808 keychain cam and that works great.

Max weight? I'm not sure but it is strong. It shoukd hold yours easily. I use a cannon camcorder and its no problem. Tighen the 3 legs on bottom real tight and it should hold almost any camera.

I have no idea how heavy a goPro is so I have no idea. I use this with a Olympus Stylus 1030SW that I just weighed at 6.75 ounces. I have used it in pools, rivers, lakes and oceans without issue since 2009. It's never failed to bob on the surface with the camera suspended below.

It is strong enough but with a gimbal head and moving around quickly, it would feel quite flimsy. I would go for a beefier tripod to use with a gimbal head.

The only movement you're going to get is if there is wind enough to move the WHOLE tripod. There is no 'play' in the joints at all and all locks are solid. This is not a very tall tripod, so the footprint is a little narrower. The gopro won't be a problem... I think in anything 15mph or less it will probably not so much as shudder in the wind.

I dont see why it will not hold up to the flight. I guess you are not going higher that 5000 meters.The cam actually aims to the side!Good luck!

not sure about the camera however the copter is built wrong much to heavy for operation engine is extremely underpowered

This will not amplify the signal of a GoPro. This is meant solely for the amplification of the signal from the quad copter with the built-in camera to your First Person View (FPV) device (telephone, or tablet). If you use a GoPro camera, you need a separate FPV system with a separate transmitter.

No. this little toy is capable of flight but in no way is it strong enough to even carry a paperclip let alone a camera.

What kinda strength are ya looking for? Lift? lbs? What you want to do? They are as strong as any servo...these good servos. I use them in ROVs

It is not made to hold the weight of a DSLR camera. It will hold a GoPro or something comparable in size.

This plane is extremely powerful with a very light wing loading. I mount a "Cube" camera from Nitro Planes on mine with no problems what-so-ever. While the GoPro is quite a bit heavier, I feel sure it would handle it.

I'm sure it would carry it. I fly mine with a mobius action cam. The plane has great lift and stability. Without the camera I get 18 min of flight time because of the low RPM that it will fly with. It has plenty of power on demand.

I don't know what the parrot ARs lifting capability is, but I don't think it has the surfaces for it. This is designed for the Phantom platform and is made to interface with the power system. The AR would require an additional battery, and additional weight. Also, if you read my review, this gimbal doesn't use the base cam software so you can't adjust the gimbal perimeters with ANY type of software. If you buy one of these spend the extra money, and buy the one with the Alexmos control board. Or, better yet ,get a Tarot 2.0. They're more expensive but worth it.

I haven't tried the GoPro brand, only this one, so I can't tell you if its softer.I have had the camera in and out of it several times without it breaking, nor was I worried that it would because it feels very pliable.

Beyond the weight of a GoPro gimbal system and one extra 2200mAh battery I would not recommend adding anything else. 1 to 2 pounds extra and its going to fly like a brick if it gets off the ground at all.

I'm probably the wrong person to ask. The only way I could see would be to set it on a lift or a scaffold. I bought this one to use as a heavy duty, stable camera tripod. It is reasonably stable, but still has some shake in certain windy conditions. It took some modification for the photo adaptation.
